Mr. Gettysburg's Homes and Real Estate Information

The Gettysburg Homes and real estate information blog is my way of giving back to Gettysburg's people and my personal sphere of influence. The objective is to provide real time real estate infomation and it's potential effect on Gettysburg, PA.
The current real estate market is far from what one would call "normal." Changes are constant, which requires professional realtors to be knowledgable and capable of shifting with the market. The governments attempts to stimulate the market has also caused a steep learning curve for most buyers and sellers in the market. An understanding of the policies and procedures is just one way I can help you to the successful sale or purchase of a Gettysburg, Pa property.
I work both as a Gettysburg buyer agent, and a Gettysburg Listing agent. I also enjoy the challenge of finding quality investment properties and helping buyers to ensure a desired profit margin.
If I can help you in any way feel free to call or send me an email. Quick response time and great communication are always my goal.
